Installation
This section describes how to install your Balancer.
Installation Safety Rules
Pay attention at all times during installation.
Use appropriate tools and equipment. Stay
clear of moving parts. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points.
Use caution when unpacking the Balancer from its shipping container and setting it up. The Balancer is
heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed; dropping or knocking over the unit may cause
equipment damage or personal injury.
⚠
WARNING You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment
at all times when installing, using, maintaining, or repairing the Balancer. Leather
gloves, steel-toed work boots, ANSI-approved eye protection, back belts, and
hearing protection are mandatory.
Only allow experienced, trained technicians to install the Balancer. In particular, all electrical work
must be done by a licensed, certified Electrician.
⚠
CAUTION Certain parts of installing the Balancer are difficult for just one person. BendPak
Ranger strongly recommends having two or more persons work together to install
the Balancer.
If you have to use an extension cord, make sure its current rating is equal to or greater than that of the
equipment being used. Make sure the extension cord cannot be stepped on, run over, or pulled out.
Extension cords are also a tripping hazard, so they must be secured.
Plan for Electrical Work
The Balancer does not come with a Plug on the end of the Power Cord; it is your responsibility to have
an Electrician attach a Plug
or
wire the Balancer directly into the facility’s electrical system.
Refer to Wiring Information for additional information.
⚠
WARNING All electrical work, such as attaching the Plug to the Power Cord or wiring the
Balancer into a facility’s electrical system,
must be done by a licensed,
certified Electrician
in accordance with local and National Electrical Code.

•
Hex wrench set (multiple hex wrenches come with the Balancer)
